You all know that I was going to do the solid Indi Blue S-lites, with Loren painting a set of silver ones I have. Well, I saw these on motoring underground the other day, and not to copy, but because I can't fully commit to paying that much money for something I have never seen, I am getting them painted in this set-up. I will do the silver on the outside ring, with the spoke painted Indi Blue. And that's my final answer. Loren has them, and I will probably get it done end of August.

 

Yellow wheels would lood awsume on that indi Blue

 

I like it -- that should look great.

 

yeah, Jason....that's gonna look sweet! Can't wait to see it when they're done!

 

Thanks.

Oh, HALE YESSS!

 

... or pink....

jk...

 

That will look sweet!!!

Stopped by Loren's shop today and told him what I wanted. He was pretty cool, and was excited to get to do the wheels. He matched up the colors, and said it would be done before long. Much quicker since he don't have the ArtCar and Lukester's rides!

That'll look great....makes me wonder if the some of the best appearance mods are yet to be discovered!!

 

Jason

Great idea, it will look good.

I have Loren painting a rear deck spoiler for my 328 today. I hope to stop by and have him install tomorrow. I will look for your wheels.

 

That's a cool look, can't wait to see your pics.

 

<hijaak on>
George, guess that didn't take long to decide on the spoiler? ;-)
<hijaak off>

 

I actually just thought about doing that to my mini yesterday. I won't 'cause I want lighter rims, but I say go for it! Great minds think alike

 

Yeah, I won't be doing any racing anytime soon, and I like blending something stock and classic with something new.....I was going to go all Indi Blue, but could not go for it.

O.K. Loren might have changed my mind, and he thinks it would look better in all Indi Blue since I don't have any other silver like that. What do you guys think from this pic, and be honest....All blue, or silver outer rim with the Indi Blue spokes?
jason

 

i personally dont think it looks good. blue rims are unique tho

 

?

 

i'll elaborate, i personally don't like the look, it starts to make the car look a little cartoony. but i think that blue rims make you're car look very unique. unique doesnt mean i like it, im just stating that there will be very few, if any, MINI's in the world with IB S-lites.

it looks better all blue than with silver since you dont have any silver going on anywhere else

 

Yeah, I should have elaborated. The ? was to bump the thread after I changed the picture, and I did not realize you had posted something in the meantime. Crazy timing, and for that, I'm sorry. Did not mean to throw you off... I agree, it is unique, and that's what I was going for. I was NOT going for tacky, which I hope it's not. (Please Lord, don't let it look tacky.)
jason

 

gotcha tacky's kinda like beauty. it's in the eye of the beholder. if someone thinks it's ugly so what, it's your car. you'll feel good either way since it was your spin on it

 

That's funny, but I have seen a lot of people put a "spin" on their car, and it looked like dog crap, I don't care what they thought! LOL. I knew it was a gamble. It either looked really good, and people liked it, or it would look bad, and people would laugh at it, not in a good way, and that's not what I am going for. I wanted it to be original, but not THAT original. Know what I mean?
jasn

 

right right... well, if it doesnt work you can rattle can it black or white. might be a bummer because it'll feel like a waste of money if you dont like it.

 

Yeah, it ain't cheap. I would probably sell them on here, take a small loss....
